Did he bully and threaten her into it? I doubt it, she doesn't seem a person easily bullied or threatened.
Why did she expose him? Revenge, to wreck his career and his life. She was misled by a journalist into thinking she could have her revenge at no cost to herself- what a fool.
Why did she claim he bullied her into it? She thought the jury would feel sorry for her and let her off- marital coercion. They didn't believe her, neither do I.
Overall probably not a very nice person-perhaps they deserved each other.
They both deserve what they got and more- you or I would have got more.

If every person whose partner cheated on them went to these lengths to utterly ruin them what an interesting world it would be. We wouldn't need World Wars.

I get the feeling that you ladies have a certain amount of admiration for what she did!
Ask yourselves- was it worth it?

Margaret, I am with you there.
This man was conducting an extra-marital affair, whilst purporting to be a clean cut wholesome family man.
He only ditched his wife for his mistress because the papers were going to blow the gaff on him and he delivered the news that he was leaving his wife by telephone(allegedly).
He has lied consistently about something that would have had very few consequences if he had come clean in the first place.....and something that was of little relevance....Of he would have got a driving ban, but this man is a millionaire - he can afford to employ a driver.
I would have done exactly the same if I had been in her shoes(well, except she has hurt her children, but I think they might get over it - especially when they look at the man who is their father).
She has sunk his career.......and though she has given up her lucrative job....I'm sure she will get another one.
She is well shut of this man. He is only useful as a bad example(or a doorstop).

No it has nothing to do with the legalities, but everything to do with the motivation of Vicki Pryce.
She saw an opportunity to dig his political grave, and she took her chance (knowing full well that she was going to be implicated because she had been complicit in the offence. She obviously thought it was worth it.)......it was a case of 'hell hath no fury' and all that.
I think that most women bear a streak of that in their personality....I am being perfectly honest when I say that I certainly do.

You cannot comprehend why she agreed to 'take his points' unless you have lived in a similar relationship.

She was earning more than him during their time together (as was I), so financial reasons do not explain it.

You cannot comprehend how 'control' creeps up on you insidiously, and you don't realise or understand how or why until you get release from it.

PS it is akin to Stockholm Syndrome

I can compare this to my joy at learning my ex was dead and had died in a horrific fashion.
